I find it interesting the way Australia has this split between their franchise teams and their national team playing T20. There seems to be as much if not more interest in the franchise sides and the Big Bash than for Australia during the World Cup. That seems to be happening more with T20 than in the other formats.

Anyway I suspect the next few pages will be about bashing the number of IPL teams and the India-centric nature of the competition. Which seems fair enough (to bash).

Well I didn't watch much of the international T20 competition that has just gone and failed to see a game all the way through but will probably watch Yorkshire tomorrow. Not overly fussed about this either really, just waiting for our drubbing in India to start.
